Aceso Hemp Review
Aceso CBD is not a new player in the CBD market. Established in 2015, they have several years of experience manufacturing products that aim to create a positive difference in people’s lives. However, despite all those years, they fail to pass our safety parameters in critical aspects, including testing.
Based in Colorado, Aceso CBD has the opportunity to offer premium products made with the best hemp extracts derived from organic hemp. But, the company only makes a few lofty claims and fails to provide evidence.
In this article, we will delve into whether Aceso is worth your money by analyzing several categories.
Mission / Charity3/5
Aceso is committed to providing effective products made with pure CBD. The company’s mission is to make CBD accessible to everyone struggling with specific ailments. While this mission sounds great, it’s pretty generic at its core, and there’s nothing truly innovative or different about this mission statement from 99% of the other CBD companies in this space.
Hemp Source2/5
Unfortunately, we couldn’t find any information on how they source hemp. The company reveals that they procure it from American farms; however, the company doesn’t have any certifications of their hemp source.
With that said, the products we’ve tried didn’t feel low quality. We just can’t be sure about how good the starting material is without any testing.
Product Range4/5
Aceso offers only three types of products at the moment. Although this could improve in the future, they lack essential products such as oils, tinctures, and many types of edibles that are commonly available today.
Innovation5/5
This company makes some unique product types, such as their CBD sprays or hemp drink mixes. Certainly above average in the innovation department!
Safety4/5
Although the company posts lab reports, they’re pretty inconsistent with what’s displayed on the label — sometimes with differences as high as 20% from what’s advertised.
With that said, none of the tests show any indication of contamination or issues with product quality. It’s just a little less potent than advertised on some batches.
Customer Service 3/5
The Aceso website is consistently online and offline again. We’re not sure what’s going on, but it’s already proved to be a pain to try and get in contact with these guys when the website keeps breaking. Responsiveness via email is not bad — it took about 3 days from the first email we sent.
Aceso doesn’t have many products. However, the company seems to focus on quality rather than quantity. Instead of introducing typical CBD products that most companies sell, Aceso only has three variations of CBD you could use to help with several issues.
Named after the Greek goddess, it’s apparent that Aceso pays special attention to natural remedies. All their products combine pure cannabinoids, terpenes, and other herbal healing ingredients such as linalool, limonene, and passionflower.
Their delightful amalgamation of simplistic ingredients with the power of hemp results in three variations such as Soothe, Calm, and Wellness. The company has built its products specifically under these three formulas that are entirely devoid of THC.
1. CBD Hemp Drink Mixes
CBD beverage powders or drink mixes are ideal for incorporating CBD in your regular beverages. For instance, adding CBD beverage powders with coffee makes for an excellent cup that adds a spring to your step throughout the day.
Available in a pack of 5 sachets, Calm does what it suggests — reduces stress and introduces a sense of peace and calm. Whether you drink it on its own or mix it with another drink, you’re likely to enjoy it.
It’s best to mix Calm with plain water, though, since it’s flavored with lavender, grapefruit, and a hefty dose of several terpenes and CoQ10 to amplify CBD’s healing effects. Calm is available in packs of 5 and 30. Although the company claims that Calm drink mixes are made using broad-spectrum extracts, the lab reports show only CBD.
B)Aceso Soothe Drink Mix
Soothe is made to offer relief to your joints and muscles after a strenuous workout. You can consume this before or after working out. Created by combining CBD with natural ingredients like pineapple, glucosamine, turmeric, cinnamon, and tart cherry, this drink mix is ideal to start your day.

Wellness is made to support your immunity while offering healing properties in the form of green tea, CBD, and a host of other vitamins and antioxidants.

2. CBD Sprays
CBD sprays are made for ease of use. Generally, it contains some sort of hemp extract tincture mixed with ethanol to extract all the cannabinoids. They don’t differ much from tinctures, except that you can easily carry them without worrying about leakage.
Most companies don’t bother with innovative products like sprays, so Aceso gets full marks in this department. However, Aceso’s hemp sprays aren’t that impressive mainly because of their low potency of about 7.5 mg per serving which doesn’t relieve specific problems. Made to help you relax after a long time, Calm is best used at night.
B) Soothe Hemp Sublingual Spray
Soothe sprays consist of the same ingredients used to formulate the drink mix, but you can’t ignore its ease of use compared to other methods of CBD consumption. Designed for sublingual absorption, they work better than even oils. However, the only problem is that Soothe contains very little CBD and won’t help chronic conditions.

3. CBD Topicals
CBD topicals are made to solve two distinct issues. While one type is made to restore the skin’s healing properties and maintain much-needed balance, the other type of topical is to treat pain in localized areas. Aceso has two balms in the topical section — Calm and Soothe balm.
A) Cool CBD Calm
Cool CBD Calm has a cooling effect that’s both pleasant and effective. With more than 20 essential oils such as peppermint, eucalyptus, pine, chamomile, rosemary, and coconut infused with a powerful broad-spectrum CBD, Cool hemp balm is great for irritated skin and also relieve sore muscles.

Safety & Third-Party Testing
As mentioned already, Aceso provides lab reports that display testing results for the presence of cannabinoids. However, some of the results are inconsistent and don’t match the labels.
Currently, we don’t even see the testing results anymore, making it very hard for anyone to trust and choose Aceso over other reputed CBD companies.
Aceso’s Shipping & Return Policy
Aceso ships in and around the USA. They also offer refunds for dissatisfied customers provided they return the products in their original packaging within 30 days.
Final Verdict: Innovative but Lacks Evidence
Aceso’s products are innovative, but we do not recommend them currently.
They seem to be delivering what you’d expect from a company based out of Colorado — providing holistic products crafted with organic hemp. However, we wish they would update a few more details about their company because it’s hard to believe any company’s claims when they neglect to mention hard evidence in the form of tests and lab reports.
Undoubtedly, Aceso displays unique products that aren’t available everywhere; however, the company needs to work more on communicating with the customer. For example, a simple blog on their manufacturing and safety practices would educate us further.
